Boston Marathon: Finding Joy among the Wreckage

I made this video last night to speak about how we can find happiness even when we’re sad, grieving, scared, traumatized and in pain. Please folks, instead of watching negative and scary news this evening, please watch this 11-minute video and please share it with your friends.
